May kana share that after a very suspense start, U. Moritz managed to board the flight finally. It was literally last minute. May any other hindrance vanish and fade like this until kana can bring him to meet Bhante.
In the meantime kana had asked for the stay at Wat Vihear Kuon, but as checked today, kana withdrew since it would really be a burden since the construction has started yesterday.
So U. Moritz will stay nearby kana's home and if all is good and we can finish all the bureaucratic matters on time we head out to Wat Ayum by the weekend and afterwards to Phnom Aural.
Many thanks to U. Lay and also U. Vithou who offered their support in clothing, other essentials and transportation.
For everyone who wants to join to welcome we meet at the airport at 9am.
May everyone be well and may U. Moritz arrive safe and sound.

Nothing to worry after the burning, actually now lesser work. All fine so far, usual, and one rain will makes all green again.

Bang Sophorn, Phou Vitou, Lok Lay and Bong Youy picked me up from the airport.
I am very thankful for the nice welcome.
Bang Sophorn organized a very nice place for me to stay until then in a few days going to Wat Ayum and afterwards to Phnom Aural I think (hope).

To share some impressions from my perspective, first of all here some pictures, while sitting next to Bhante now in the room given by Upasaka Vladimir to stay while in Phnom Penh for the medical visits.
(https://forum.sangham.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Faccesstoinsight.eu%2F_media%2Fuser%2Fmoritz%2Fgallery%2Fcambodia2020%2F20200204_123608.jpg&hash=6e5059045b0f269c0c7c345ee66a9ed51705377c) (http://accesstoinsight.eu/_media/user/moritz/gallery/cambodia2020/20200204_123608.jpg)
Bhante so far has been taken for some blood tests to the clinic yesterday, and some more today have been taken by the devoted doctor whose name I don't remember, who is more specialized in malaria knowledge. Bang Sophorn is organizing and planning all around and thinking carefully for the long-term about best possible ways to care and provide support for Bhante's health.
I am sitting in between many devoted and caring people who provide food and all requisites and care, and Bhante, as an assistant. Still not knowing/understanding well the customs here, as well as just some ordinary things, and learning only slowly how to behave properly here. ^-^
"Baan plet hoi." - "I forgot already." is the first Khmer sentence I learnt. I think I will use it a lot.
For now, it is quiet here for a moment. Bhante, still weakened, is resting a little, and otherwise always taking care that I don't feel too stupid. Now, Sophorn, and I think some more people, are coming ...
I will try to add some commentaries later, giving some impression, also for people outside and those left behind home, who are wondering what I am doing here. So maybe more from a "tourist perspective": Impressions from a pig in the land of Khema. :)
/me Some pictures may appear in wrong orientation. I will try to fix that later.

But yesterday, because of illness, he accepted a meal cooked here in the house.
I think today will be the same. I will cook here and Bhante will not go on pindabat, I think. (Not sure. Maybe he wants to.)
Bang Villa and Puthy also came yesterday and brought food and helped. They also bought everything to cook here in the house.
Bhante still took his meal prepared at "home" today. Bang Villa and Puthy came again, with Puthy's husband as well, and brought much to eat and some new kitchen inventory.
Sie sagten gestern, wenn Bhante schon etwas von diesem Antibiotikum genommen hat, soll es weiter bis zu Ende gegeben werden.
Bhante hatte schon etwas davon genommen, wie ich mitteilte. Also habe ich es weiter gegeben, wie Sie sagten.
Sie sagten außerdem, statt der von Dr. Pheakday vorgeschlagenen 2x3 + 2x2 sollte besser länger 3x täglich gegeben werden. Deshalb wollte ich mehr besorgen.
Wenn Sie sich nicht daran erinnern, was Sie sagen, kann ich nichts dafür.
Bhante sagte vorhin übrigens, dieses Antibiotikum scheint besser zu wirken als das von Ihnen üblicherweise bevorzugt gegebene. Er sagte das, bevor ich überhaupt erwähnte, dass Sie sich darum sorgen machen.
Ansonsten scheint es Bhante nicht sehr schlecht zu gehen. Der Mund ist gut abgeschwollen. Er hatte sich bloß bei der langen 3,5-Stunden-Zahnarztsitzung verkühlt, wo ihm die ganze Zeit der Ventilator ins Gesicht wehte.
Vielleicht könnten Sie dies noch an Dr. Pheakday weitergeben. Dann könnte man das nächste mal vielleicht darauf Rücksicht nehmen.
Vithou ist gerade hier. Ich werde gleich mit ihm zu Bhante hoch gehen. Dann werde ich Sie auch kurz anrufen, damit Sie mit Bhante reden können.
It was a nice trip. A bit longer time than expected. When I came back just before 19:00, Bhante's door was locked, no answer after multiple knocking.
Not so much worry actually about doing wrong in the strictest sense, as keeping basic Sila is not so much a problem.
More worried sometimes about forgetting, misunderstanding, misinterpreting, or acting on false information and being blamed. The first three are surely my responsibility. The latter, I cannot change. So I can only try to not be angry about a certain person's contemptuous and contemptible behaviour, by thinking of something else.
The trip was nice, but longer than thought, all the while a bit worried about wasting time while sightseeing at Phnom Basat, though certainly pleasent to talk with Upasaka Vithou and get to know his family and himself, talking a bit on a more personal and relaxed level than usual the last two weeks, and learn a bit about his own outlook on life and aspirations. Asked about my own, I could not give much definite answers, even for the near future. I will just stay with Bhante as long as deemed useful by the authorities (https://accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an03/an03.040.than.html), as far as I can understand them.
We talked about the visa matter (already before leaving, with Bhante present). The tentative decision was made to go by car to Vietnam on Saturday, the 22nd of February, which seems to be the only day, except for maybe one week later, the 29th, where Vithou would have time. As he is a busy man, it seems important to settle the decision not too late. And he already started to make arrangements today for the 22nd.
Worries about leaving Bhante alone for a whole day while possibly still weakened by medical procedures were (of course) dismissed by Bhante: "Maybe you know that Atma used to live alone before."
I think some arrangements should be made to bring food.
By the time I came back, short before 19:00, my worry (about wasting time) was confirmed. Bhante's door was locked. No answer on multiple knocking. Taking surely needed rest already. Usually I would have brought tonics at that time, to prepare the stomach for the last antibiotic dose. So this did not happen today. I assume he would have taken the antibiotics (now even two different ones, if finally informed correctly) on an empty stomach then.
Going up to knock on the door a last time, I met Upasaka Vladimir who came up after me. He asked about how it is going with Bhante's health. After explaining a bit the general situation as I know it, I told him about my current worries (of having come too late just now). He said some things to appease my worries and then went downstairs to go on with his unpleasent work of correcting English exams.
He also mentioned, while already leaving, that going from Cambodia to Thailand for the visa renewal would not be a good idea at this time, since Thai authorities had made a move to treat incoming travellers from Cambodia the same as those from China, due to fear of the Corona virus, after the Cambodia government's act of humanitarian help (http://forum.sangham.net/index.php/topic,9743.msg21977.html#msg21977). Vietnam should not be a problem, though, he said.
So the idea to go to Vietnam instead of Thailand seems to be a good one also for this reason.

Do you know already when will be the next the tooth treatment?to ask the doctor.
This is what I then tried to speak:
Quote
Ter nak deng rourch rol houy, pel na neng pjea bal thmemh?
Not sure if it was really understood. But suddenly we are already at the dental clinic. :)
It seems the clinic is moving to a different place further away.. So maybe that is the reason why it should be done quickly today.
I hope I did not push with my asking.

Having got the former room of Bhante Khemakumara , settled a little, he also asked to learn reciting Veneration texts and so got his first direct Palu lesson using also the old Khmer-script to learn.

I will try to do now as connection allows while being on the road with Upasaka Vithou already on the way to Aural (possibly arriving at around 13:00).
Just calling the flight booking company, to set a new date for my "flexible ticket" back to Europe (which would have been originally on 23rd of April, in four days, but changed destination due to coronavirus). But they could not find any date in the future yet, up until September, where they could be sure that it would be possible. So I can still call them until end of November to set a new date. Good for me not needing to decide yet for an exact date.

Having now taken rest at his new dwelling here, in the Kuti up, there will be possible a lot of good work for the next time, outwardly and inwardly, on the path of higher independence and the well-being of himself and all beings.

May Nyom find most time the next days to reflect much on all and to possible, by the power of joy from it, erect a foundation that will be no more subject of decay till the completion of the Vihara of those no more bond to fall back into raw sensual world and heading toward liberation.
May he be able to delay ordinary worldly issues for intensively investigating a sphere of outward conditions possible never meeting again, so that way can be remembered as soon as the perception can be traced, if an inner sphere might be still hard to discriminate without getting tricked by Mara.
Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu and much Mudita, in regard of past and the huge merits done, seldom ever anybody would even think on sacrifices in such quality and size.

I am certainly glad that I have made this journey, somewhat stressful and strenuous mostly in the beginning, but filled with much joy from doing work for a good purpose, mostly while here at Thmo Duk. I could have stayed longer in Cambodia. Surely, generous supporters like Vithou and Cheav Villa would have made everything possible I would have wished for in terms of material support, but decided not to, having no clear plan, and not inclined towards somewhat ascetic life for much longer or even ordaining as Bhante always tried to "push" me towards.
Surely, even though myself not glad hearing it, Bhante will be probably right when saying I would only get into troubles when back in Germany, with no more time to do what I would like to do (like for example work on sangham.net - something I even here could not find much time for, and would be enough in terms of ideas, visions, suggestions to do full-time for some months in order to really finish some things). I hope I will still find enough free time.
And I hope Bhante will be able to keep his health for longer time and that my assistance in mostly just moving sand and material here has helped progress toward having a comfortable dwelling place, supportive for health and freedom for more mental kind of Dhamma work, in the cave hopefully soon.

Today evening Nyom Moritz let Atma know that his flight back will be on 5. July, full moon, begin of Vassa. After 5 month, doing high merits nearly around the clock, most in regard of bodily deeds in generosity and assistance, living more and more in keeping precepts till even entering the holly way of life while resisting at Thmo Duk, for about 2 month, keeping 10 Silas, living on alms and even include certain Tudongas, having served and assisted the Sangha on many places, on many occasions, as well as their devoted followers in their undertakings, having endured hardships by body, speech and mind, incl. a very "burdensome" monks daily encouragement, critics, "forces" nearly all the time, a list of good deeds which could fill books... may there be much space in the future to often reflect on the solide foundation for Sila- Caga- Devattanussati in combination with the right perception of the Buddha Dhamma Sanga, and may the huge freedom gained by all of this, the possible not yet seen wealth of merits be used wisely and not like so many, many times wasted away for useless purpose which lasts very short, yet requires a lot of Dukkha from others and one self.
May Nyom find most time the next days to reflect much on all and to possible, by the power of joy from it, erect a foundation that will be no more subject of decay till the completion of the Vihara of those no more bond to fall back into raw sensual world and heading toward liberation.
May he be able to delay ordinary worldly issues for intensively investigating a sphere of outward conditions possible never meeting again, so that way can be remembered as soon as the perception can be traced, if an inner sphere might be still hard to discriminate without getting tricked by Mara.

Goodness, back to the Sublime Buddha, and his Juwels, made this journey, incl. his own goodness (Dhamma-guṇa (https://forum.sangham.net/index.php?topic=8256.msg20305#msg20305)), possible. Nothing else than goodness toward highest liberation was condition for becaming and resist in the realm of punna kiriya vatthu (https://forum.sangham.net/index.php?topic=8884.msg16105#msg16105), sphere of doing merits for higher and beyond...
..and what would the Devas (spreaking formost for the fathers and mothers in Dhamma, the Gods who made this taking birth, journey, dwelling, resistance in the land of wonder possible, starting by birth giver Upasaka Sophorn and father in Dhamma, Bhante Indannano , and all the others in the line of goodness) say if one of the Devas, delight in creation (https://forum.sangham.net/index.php?topic=8829.0), starts to decay in their host, up to changing the realm?
Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:
"When a deva is about to pass away from the company of devas, five omens appear: his garlands wither, his clothes get soiled, sweat comes out of his armpits, a dullness descends on his body, he no longer delights in his own deva-seat. The devas, knowing from this that 'This deva-son is about to pass away,' encourage him with three sayings: 'Go from here, honorable sir, to a good destination. Having gone to a good destination, gain the gain that is good to gain. Having gained the gain that is good to gain, become well-established.'"
When this was said, a certain monk said to the Blessed One, "What, lord, is the devas' reckoning of going to a good destination? What is their reckoning of the gain that is good to gain? What is their reckoning of becoming well-established?"
"The human state, monks, is the devas' reckoning of going to a good destination. Having become a human being, acquiring conviction in the Dhamma-&-Vinaya taught by the Tathagata: this is the devas' reckoning of the gain that is good to gain. When that conviction is settled within one — rooted, established, & strong, not to be destroyed by any brahman or contemplative; deva, Mara, or Brahma; or anyone else in the world: this is the devas' reckoning of becoming well-established."
When a deva passes away
from the company of devas
through his life-span's ending,
three sounds sound forth
— the devas' encouragement.
'Go from here,
honorable sir,
to a good destination,
to companionship
with human beings.
On becoming a human being,
acquire a conviction
unsurpassed
in True Dhamma.
That conviction of yours
in True Dhamma, well-taught,
should be settled,
rooted,
established,
— undestroyed
as long as you live.
Having abandoned
bodily misconduct,
verbal misconduct,
mental misconduct,
and whatever else is flawed;
having done with the body what's skillful,
and much that is skillful with speech,
having done what's skillful
with a heart without limit,
with no acquisitions,
then — having made much
of that basis of merit
through giving —
establish other mortals
in True Dhamma &
the holy life.'
With this sympathy, the devas —
when they know a deva is passing away —
encourage him:
'Come back, deva,
again & again.'៤. បញ្ចបុព្ពនិមិត្តសុត្តំ

Nyom Moritz is possible not aware for now how much freedom and power, by the power of merits dedicated toward the Sublime Tripple Gems he has accumulated, so much that ruling in this world, or the next, but also to walk on a path, which has an end of suffering is possible. Sure, becoming a queen of a huge folk of termites is a great thing, but it's only a matter of time that one falls back to the need of carring sand. Beings forget fast of how much Dukkha some short pleasure has taken.
May he use his earnings of merits wisely, being clear of ones target aim, going on toward it, step by step, neither "verkrampfen" nor stopping. Such is not only the way how termites build huge cities, lasting hundred of years, but also for building a path that does not need a return, highest liberation attained, and as known, dog- or ox-duty practice doesn't lead far toward lasting happiness.
May Nyom soon meet the first three heavenly messangers and remember the fourth hard ever to meet, hard ever to find, soon no more able to get in touch in this end time of the heritage of a Sublime Buddha in this world.
Und um Nyom Sophorn's liebsten Spruch der Wahrheit zu zitieren: "Zeit hat man nicht, die muß man sich nehmen.", so wie alles Handeln, für Ziele, eine Sache der freien Wahl ist, und immer freier wird, desto weniger Schulden, desto weniger gefangen von Sinnesbegehren, Körperschulden abgeworfen, verweilen und fortschreiten in verfeinerter Welt, an Freiheit gebunden.

But would not taking time that is not given only lead to a bad conscience?
Like now, I am taking time to write this. Instead of eating, preparing quick for work, to use all what is available in the few days for some physical labour here. I take some time to reflect out loud, on the computer as the battery lasts, feeling certain stress while doing so, because time here is short and much work to do actually for months, that Bhante would be left alone with.
This has been so for most of the last months, hoping to find time in between to think and reflect and develop a "plan" for afterwards, other than just doing ox-duty ascetism until fed up and following mood to go "home".
Business people like to say "time is money", which of course is not true. But I know I would soon be caught up surrounded by this false belief, having to work again around the clock for uncertain goals decided and always changed by others, just to hopefully earn enough money to make ends meet in Germany, with much uncertainty that there would be even anything to spare. But that is what is offered. This "opportunity" to get caught up in a hamster wheel can be taken without bad conscience for the taking.
Taking opportunities is another matter, when not really given, that might lead to a bad conscience if not completely certain to make good of it. Being an "unternehmer", taking initiative, using other people's needed help, requires confidence to be successful and not fall into much debt. There may be even people who would always say yes and fulfill every wish. But if not making good out of it that would be bad to take on.
I would certainly have liked to stay in Cambodia just for some time more to see. Just a few weeks more helping at Thmo Duk, but not ordain as a monk (which Bhante said would be uncomfortable for him, living with a lay person here for so long - and I surely do not want to ordain, have no serious inclination towards it), hoping to find time to really work on sangham.net at some point, but finally, what I would have liked to do, would be to go back into "normal" lay life here, see if I could find some way to just earn money and live here for a while, maybe even develop some plans together with Vithou and his colleague who said he was looking forward to work together, not all-time as a "slave of the Sangha" but just for simple worldly comforts as well, not in the jungle any longer, especially not for long into the rainy season. Not with much of a plan, of course. So uncertain about any success.
To Germany I can go with much of the same uncertainty, just in certain more known conditions. Knowing even that failure is quite probable, but at least the kind of slavery and falling into debt is more or less familiar.
I am mixed with feelings to leave here. But without a plan and confidence in it, probably, trying to stay here, using others' help, would just be worse.
And my father, of course, tells the same as he has done since at least 10 years: that he is declining mentally and physically, and will probably not be there anymore (mentally, or even physically) in a few months. The offer that I could come and live with him, he finally retracted, being afraid as usual after my saying "yes", so he can continue to complain that he is alone and no one helps him, which is easier than to try to improve anything. I will be stuck in the same situation for 10, 20 years, until I am the same as my father and cannot get out anymore of this condition.

Raining... who wonders (something never happens here when people come up joyful), the four older brothers then took a coffee awaiting it's stopp while the younger well behaving trank some juice.
May all have good journeys all along the way till the real secure path is clear seen. Good protected by the crying Devas they left then in a merely serious, not drunken mood.

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa
...[5] “And further, the monk remains focused on mental qualities in & of themselves with reference to the four noble truths. And how does a monk remain focused on mental qualities in & of themselves with reference to the four noble truths? There is the case where he discerns, as it has come to be, that ‘This is stress…This is the origination of stress…This is the cessation of stress…This is the way leading to the cessation of stress.’(19)
[a] “Now what is the noble truth of stress? Birth is stressful, aging is stressful, death is stressful; sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair are stressful; association with the unbeloved is stressful; separation from the loved is stressful; not getting what is wanted is stressful. In short, the five clinging-aggregates are stressful.
“And what is birth? Whatever birth, taking birth, descent, coming-to-be, coming-forth, appearance of aggregates, & acquisition of [sense] spheres of the various beings in this or that group of beings, that is called birth.
“And what is aging? Whatever aging, decrepitude, brokenness, graying, wrinkling, decline of life-force, weakening of the faculties of the various beings in this or that group of beings, that is called aging.
“And what is death? Whatever deceasing, passing away, breaking up, disappearance, dying, death, completion of time, break up of the aggregates, casting off of the body, interruption in the life faculty of the various beings in this or that group of beings, that is called death.
“And what is sorrow? Whatever sorrow, sorrowing, sadness, inward sorrow, inward sadness of anyone suffering from misfortune, touched by a painful thing, that is called sorrow.
“And what is lamentation? Whatever crying, grieving, lamenting, weeping, wailing, lamentation of anyone suffering from misfortune, touched by a painful thing, that is called lamentation.
“And what is pain? Whatever is experienced as bodily pain, bodily discomfort, pain or discomfort born of bodily contact, that is called pain.
“And what is distress? Whatever is experienced as mental pain, mental discomfort, pain or discomfort born of mental contact, that is called distress.
“And what is despair? Whatever despair, despondency, desperation of anyone suffering from misfortune, touched by a painful thing, that is called despair.
“And what is the stress of association with the unbeloved? There is the case where undesirable, unpleasing, unattractive sights, sounds, aromas, flavors, or tactile sensations occur to one; or one has connection, contact, relationship, interaction with those who wish one ill, who wish for one’s harm, who wish for one’s discomfort, who wish one no security from the yoke. This is called the stress of association with the unbeloved.
“And what is the stress of separation from the loved? There is the case where desirable, pleasing, attractive sights, sounds, aromas, flavors, or tactile sensations do not occur to one; or one has no connection, no contact, no relationship, no interaction with those who wish one well, who wish for one’s benefit, who wish for one’s comfort, who wish one security from the yoke, nor with one’s mother, father, brother, sister, friends, companions, or relatives. This is called the stress of separation from the loved.
“And what is the stress of not getting what is wanted? In beings subject to birth, the wish arises, ‘O, may we not be subject to birth, and may birth not come to us.’ But this is not to be achieved by wishing. This is the stress of not getting what is wanted. In beings subject to aging… illness… death… sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair, the wish arises, ‘O, may we not be subject to aging… illness… death… sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair, and may aging… illness… death… sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair not come to us.’ But this is not to be achieved by wishing. This is the stress of not getting what is wanted.
“And what are the five clinging-aggregates that, in short, are stressful? The form clinging-aggregate, the feeling clinging-aggregate, the perception clinging-aggregate, the fabrications clinging-aggregate, the consciousness clinging-aggregate: These are called the five clinging-aggregates that, in short, are stressful.
“This is called the noble truth of stress.
Yet, as the Sublime Buddha pointed out, there are two kinds of sadness, one related to the path and one bond to the world, householder sadness und renounciation sadness.
Which kind of sadness came up?

In one who

in all respects,
has abandoned all bonds:
no fever is found.
The mindful keep active,
don't delight in settling back.
They renounce every home,

like swans taking off from a lake.
First to come to the land, sphere of dwelling, Kambujea, Kamma-puja, meaning being aware that dwellings are a matter of ones sacrifices (right view), and them try to become Khmer, Khema, at peaces, secure, knowing what is leading to it, what leads astray.

But if thinking "I am not death yet", "but he isn't death yet" one gives further into focus on what is subject of suffering, subject to decay, that which does lead to freedom and security. Something that wouldn't arise if the first noble truth has been seen, the messagers had been met.

Not all decisons are so clear as told.
I wanted to decide until end of this day whether to go back to Germany or not.
Bang Vithou said I could start to work at his company on Monday, and he can find an apartment for me near his office. It is something I would be much looking forward for, very happy about this opportunity. But also thinking, at Tmor Duk there is still a lot of sand to carry up, earth to dig, ... and it would be better to do soon. To help some weeks just to finish building (if also material is there).
But to put on robes and come as a samanera just for this, like Bhante suggested, is still not something I would not really like to do (if even possible, to get ordained at Wat Akyum and then leave quickly for this).
My own main motivation for visiting Wat Akyum would have been to speak to Bhante Khemakumara about all my doubts about these things. Of course, no one can make decisions for me. But sometimes it is helpful to just talk.
Being still tired for some reason after 7 hours sleep this morning, I thought to sleep just a little bit more. Then woke up seven more hours later. Day is over. Quite embarrassing. (Having some kidney pain, headache and dizzyness all day, feeling generally ill, but not much. Maybe hypochondriac thinking it might be malaria.)
So not went to Ayum today yet. And not tomorrow, as Bang Puthy and Villa have no time.
So then it is decided now I will not go back to Germany tomorrow, waiting to go to Ayum together on Monday or Tuesday.
Going to meet my potential new workplace on Monday before, to get to know each other and talk about possibilities.
I had also suggested to Vithou earlier, it would be good if we could make a trip together to Tmor Duk soon, to just help one day from early till late, carrying sand etc., maybe even several times (giving further into focus on what is subject to decay, but still good to do, I think). Or to find some arrangements where I would go for one week or two to help at Tmor Duk from time to time.
But I really would be looking forward to further becoming and dukkha, living as a normal layperson here for some time.
First to see on Monday and get familiar with all, what my work would be and how I could help and fit in, and then go to Akyum and think about Dhamma again.
For me, so far, this seems like a perfect arrangement for now, without yet having made any clear decision on my own.

Taken one use one had to hold on something and the other on something else, and then a third appears, requiring even both hands to take on. That's not easy. Atmas mother used to use the proverb: "Mit an Oa**h auf 10 Kirtog (Kirchtag)."
Since Nyom has now in short time developed outwardly from a ugly fat guy with less skilled conduct in body and speech, to a pleasant and handsome looking guy who is now relatively good trained in what is skilful and pleasing to good people, even capable to take a hammer, Atma "fears" mostly that Nyom will now be very attractive to Maras best hunters, nice woman and smart parents... that's the mess with merits. Then Dukkha will of course soon visible but also the way out hardly closed up.
Oh, and Thmo Duk is already broken and Atma already death, something to take in account for ones decision. "Dam, dam, dam... dam... What is real? Futurereal?" .
Just some practical: Atma used to tell Nyom Chanroth that it would be good to tell Nyom Vithou where the district medical center is, so that Nyom could get a quick "Malaria" check, since in Phnom Penh such isn't possible to get and would take a lot of time and money. Not sure if told. Just for e case that Nyom doesn't feel already death and of course, good to maintain a raft as long as possible with good means.

And wounds: sometimes they relatively heal fast on the surface, but under the skin they eat further into the flesh, even for years. It's important to open them up again and again, clean the root area again and again, close for dirt free but not that no air can come into it, till no more, even little pain and inflammation can be traced. Something importand not only for bodily wounds and an advice which goes deep as well.
Quote from: https://zugangzureinsicht.org/html/lib/thai/chah/insimpleterms_en.html
The Tree Pulls Itself Down
Craving and desire lead us to suffering. But if we contemplate, our contemplation leans out from craving. It contemplates craving, and it pulls on the craving, shakes it up, so that it goes away or lessens on its own.
It's like a tree. Does anyone tell it what to do? Does anyone give it hints? You can't tell it what to do. You can't make it do anything. But it leans over and pulls itself down. When you look at things in this way, that's Dhamma.

Bang Villa had also asked me to get a check here and I said no, thinking it would be wasted time and money, having heard from Bhante earlier that they can not really test well in the city.
Maybe good when in Aural region again.
So far feeling good again, all normal. So I think not so serious (yet?). Maybe all just hypochondriac.
Now going to Wat Akyum alone, with taxi organized by Bang Villa, after disappointing her yesterday not yet wanting to go, and their family (incl. Bang Vithou and Puthy) all have a celebration in Kampong Cham today.

Arriving short after 11, as most monks and laypeople were gathered in the upstairs sala, meal just being offered.
I bowed to the monks and went downstairs, accompanied by the taxi driver to visit Bhante Khemakumara at his kuti who received us hospitably.
After some friendly talk, asking first about his health, I gave the gifts that Bhante Johann had given to bring for him personally: gas cooker, some tea and medicines, and also some of the fig-like fruits which are allowable to eat in the afternoon.
Having some conversation for a short while, not really much to say, about my passive decision to stay and general outlook (thoughts about "home", hoping to avoid the unsolvable troubles/hostilities there (https://forum.sangham.net/index.php?topic=9389.msg19371#msg19371) by just staying here, wishing to to live here a "normal" work life with others' help, hopefully soon reciprocated by good work), Bhante, always empathetic and a patient listener, gave encouraging and confidence-instilling words, replacing doubt with enthusiasm. Wishing me in the end, as often, "unlimited freedom from animosity, unlimited freedom from danger, unlimited freedom from hostility", - seeing as someone who himself enjoys these things very much to a good extent, earned by own effort, and not missing to remind that they have a cause, come not just by wish (https://zugangzureinsicht.org/html/tipitaka/an/an08/an08.039.than_en.html).
I also forwarded the message to Bhante Khemakumara that he would be welcome any time at Thmor Duk, and that there would be use for a dhammic artist, to paint an illustration of samvega on the wall in the cave. He acknowledged friendly without approval or disapproval.
Asked about his health, he said it is okay, still usually weak in body, and bad digestion, but it is good for practice. Asked whether he still eats no meat, he answered he goes on almsround and accepts what is given, eating what is necessary for nourishment. The black sesame and period of not eating meat was certainly helpful for the body while it was given, but now things are back to "normal" and it would not be proper to ask for special food. It is a matter of people's generosity, and contentment with whatever is given.
After that, taking leave, I went to pay respects to the Mahatheras: the abbot, and Bhante Indaññano, and distributed the other gifts among them.
Bhante Indaññano asked if I will go back to Germany, and I said I would stay for a while here, looking forward to work with Upasaka Vithou in Phnom Penh. But that I also would like to help Bhante Johann at Tmor Duk still if I can. And that Bhante Johann said it would be better for me to take on samanera robes for that, but which I have not much inclination towards.
Not sure how much he understood exactly by word in English, I myself still not able to speak Khmer. He said "Sadhu" to me staying to work with Vithou. Just about to take leave, he asked me if I need medicine. I declined, having other means if needed: generous supporters, some given money at the moment, soon a job to earn, no need to use for myself what is given to the Sangha, and not feeling ill now, just tired. And so I took leave.
/me Maybe I was looking ill, not feeling it myself yet. But certainly quite ill now: fever, cold, dizzy, kidney pain, walking like drunk, useless, for rest of the day since "home".
Hope to be better tomorrow morning, going to be introduced to new work place, and also leaving this hostel room proper behind.
Even lost the cold medicine just bought, walking like drunk on the way, here not finding it anymore. ¿ Appamada ? (https://forum.sangham.net/index.php?topic=2086)
Post by: Dhammañāṇa on July 06, 2020, 06:03:02 AM
Just to be reminded on the Buddhas words in regard of help. A person, ensnared in sensual pleasures, after sensual pleasures, is incapable to help others. That's a truth which starts even by very raw kind of help. Hardly ever one would be capable to carry up a bag, fearing dukkha or in hurry to care about accumulation. Hardly ever would one be able to look for the needs of sick, busy and taken over by sensuality and it's provide. Even managing here and there help, more suffering is caused on other place.

No malaria was found. But some bacterial infection. Recommended to get certain antibiotics to treat it.
It turned out Vithou does not really have work for me. He would have just rented a room for me here and support me materially for just working on sangham.net. So I thought it is better then to just go back to Thmor Duk soon, as there is more useful to do, less expensive.
Certainly I would have liked to get a job here, see if I can just earn a living in the "normal" world, bound to samsara. Maybe later, who knows...

Today I was much busy with organizing to get employment to work from here soon, for my earlier colleagues in Germany, and found an agreement to start working in early August.
In between I would like to go as soon as possible to Thmor Duk to stay for 3-4 weeks hoping to help there.
I heard from Upasaka Vithou that maybe Upasika Villa would like to go to Thmor Duk on the weekend as well. Not yet had chance to talk with her. Maybe we could go together. Or maybe I could come already earlier.

Bhante, I (unfortunately ?) don't see much prospect getting rich with this work, but think it would be enough as a start to get by (in Cambodia, where I would like to stay for some more time, but not "forever"), [while working and getting paid for by people in Germany] to be "kind of independent" at least with money. And I have no intention to become a monk.
Also should be still enough free time left then to look for possibly other opportunities here in Cambodia, or just work on sangham.net. (First thought Vithou actually had a job for me, but that was misunderstood: He would have paid me, sponsored me to survive, for "just" work on sangham.net, while not having any worldly business needs for me at the moment. That is of course a hugely generous offer. But it is something I would not feel well being paid for, costing so much without being sure I can really make much progress for it. It works only when free and inspired, not like other work that also just works enough with some pressure and money.)
It was just for information about my intentions and planning, how long to stay at Thmor Duk, to help physically as I can, as a normal lay person.
If it is unwelcome that I come with such intentions to Thmor Duk for 3-4 weeks (thinking to go tomorrow, or at latest the day after), then may Bhante let it be known.
Thank you.

Just much joy in virtuous sacrifices toward the gems required to stay on track, never dealling "some bad for higher good". No chance to fail and Atma knows already that Nyom can, yet still thinks there might be a way without getting indebt with even the Gems.
So may Nyom, like always, come and go, do what he has joy in and feels inspired (Uposatha Sila while here are of course welcome. Using money is surely a reduce of securety, much on eating and storing would cause being much busy and conflicts with the hungry inhabitants here).
(Provoking while doing great to greater, is here always garanted as known) :)
Even, if thinking trying to be near of both, organicing a resistance at the foot or village is something worthy to think over in times of internetwork as the climate and all else, aside of shops are surely more pleasing. Good n all ways, leaving home, world, work in the time spending here at the Ashram, to get most of it and never subject of critic at the same time.

Of course such is a total voluntary thing in regard of lay people and one needs simply to move more into distance as soon as tracing such, not getting involved, not appearing as approve certain things or make sacrifices of proper for what ever support.
Much explained again of what others normally need to figure out, sure with the danger that one might think its like a demand for a deal and normally, like many things not told, so given in trust that Nyom gets the points right.

Sadhu, sadhu!
Would be nice to also meet Upasaka Riddhi still there.
But maybe kammically not easy possible for a Miesepeter to meat a joyful person.
No body should approach Miesepeter, or when one regard taming as miese, Nyom Moritz .
// ...
As child, not mature yet, one regards father mostly as miesepeter and the more improper educated in youth, the more fatal misconducts, blind and stubborn, thinking knowing things better already. So one may take care with such quotes and easy as respectless regarded, letting turning away the wiser all around fast.
Whatever Bhante likes to interpret from an expression of mudita and self-ironic joke, having simply looked forward to meet such a person and expressed it.
Not sure what exactly was interpreted, trying to turn it into the opposite, from whatever papañca and cutting away context, inserting another, without relation.
(Provoking while doing great to greater, is here always garanted as known) :)^-^ <.I.> Sinking lower and lower... (in my regard)

If letting an advice got to think about it while trying not to pull ones person into it, overthink it, throw it away or take it by heart, less to stir up further.
That is special importand in not equal relations, starting by ones parent, to never appear teacherously, althought actually duty to point out unwise ways and matter of gratitude and "payback" of highest kind.
Nyom and Upasaka Riddhi may be quick good friends, having much similar kammical, also in father-relation and interests. Yesterday having heard from Nyom Chanroth that the "great helper from Germany" will come tomorrow, he already canceled his planned further journeies and likes to work another day, awaiting today already total exited (spending Vassa normally to make merits minimum 5 monasteries a day). That's a Deva family meeting... Mudita

Today, after some days feeling really sick (two days similar like on the mountain with fever and kidney pains, and also sensitive to light, being blinded by normal daylight, and feeling like losing consciousness soon all the time), now already better, I visited Dr. Pheakday at the clinic to get my blood tested for malaria.
No malaria was found. But some bacterial infection. Recommended to get certain antibiotics to treat it.
Quote from: https://www.voacambodia.com/a/battambang-malaria-cases-may-be-linked-to-rare-but-treatable-parasite/5495694.html
Since February, Yom Nob has been in the Ta Sanh Health Center observing samples taken from malaria patients in six nearby villages. The laboratory officer has twenty years of experience working with malaria, but he was seeing something new.
Rapid diagnostic tests in the area were equipped to detect more common kinds of malaria-causing parasites – Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. But the tests were unable to detect malaria in some of the district’s patients, even though they exhibited all the symptoms of the illness.
“We havnever seen this in our villages before,” Yom Nob told VOA Khmer last month.
After further analysis, Yom Nob realized the malaria was likely caused by a rare malaria-causing parasite, sending his samples and findings to the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge in Phnom Penh.
Last month, the government and Institut Pasteur du Cambodge sent a team to Samlout district and collected at least 250 samples from villagers in Daun Troek, according to Yom Nob. Hundreds of other samples were taken from villagers in the neighboring villages of Phnom Rai, Chhak Roka, Srae Andoung, Ou Tontuem, and Ou Chrab....
While possible nothing to do with it, yet just having come accoss...
As they couldn't find with common test anything in Atma this year as well, but as spoken yesterday, humans aren't aware of the manifold forms of live and being, not aware of the truth of Dukkha, truth of sickness and that it can be overcome only by the Noble path.

So maybe good to reflect on things done good and bad, and not done.
I wanted to write about it since two weeks at least but I have been a bit dull and stupid and empty in my head.
So I don't really know much to say other than that it was very good for me to have spent a year here, doing something useful for very much of the time at least. I want to thank everyone, especially Upasika Sophorn and Upasika Cheav Villa for "pushing/pulling" me here, and Upasaka Vithou, Upasika Sam and Vladimir, and You Y and whoever I did not mention (when starting to mention names, there is no end) around for their help with so many things here, Bhante Indannano and the Sangha in Takeo for their hospitality, and of course Bhante Johann for bearing my presence at Tmor Duk and pointing towards nibbana, even though I still always look in other directions.
I think two weeks left is not enough time.
Since the last two weeks, after finally "released" from work for the rest of my time here, I have been dull in the head, feeling sick, kidney pain from too much energy drink poisoning causing lethargy. That is a reason. Only today I had the good idea to stop drinking energy drinks and drink peppermint tea instead. I should have thought of that earlier.
I think at the moment that going back to Germany is stupid. But maybe tomorrow I will think something else. I want to finish at least some work for sangham.net of which there is nothing yet visible at the moment. And I also still have the Sangha laptop.
And of course I would like to have enough time to properly say goodbye to Bhante Johann, Upasaka Chanroth, Upasaka Samnang as well, maybe even carry some bags of sand.
I want to apologize for anything stupid I have done, like being angry and insulting towards Upasika Villa and Bhante Johann two or three months ago. And being angry and insulting towards Upasika Sophorn, maybe.
It is just difficult to understand each other sometimes, coming from different planets.
I sometimes regret that I still have not learned any insulting words in Khmer, or anything else.
I don't know if I have learned anything that I would not soon again forget.
I have become thin and become fat again, but have done some useful things at least.
I have not found strong motivation to give up sensual pleasures. And I would not even find a woman because I am too stupid for that.
It might be a little bit disappointing to go home like this. Not sure.

Taking possible arising of guest as best reason again, Atma cleaned up the Kuti and moved back into the open cave. It's good to end to pleasing and cut off from all disturbance dwelling to stay more focused on the frames of references.
Not for sure... and sticking to resolves isn't common...

Sorry I did not inform.
I plan to come on Saturday joining Upasika Villa and her friends.
/me Maybe mistakenly thought to be meant here. But I think I could also sleep in the cave or outside. And if a visiting monk comes, like the Venerable recently ordained mentioned here (https://forum.sangham.net/index.php?topic=10295.msg25831#msg25831), I could maybe ask Upasaka Chanroth.
Upasaka Chanroth sent me voice message one or two weeks ago, and still not speaking any Khmer I still could not answer more than "sok sabay". ^-^

Having only wasted time, spent alone in doubt about everything, not done any of the useful things I intended to do (work on sangham.net, fix sangha laptop, which now is broken), so I did not feel satisfied to leave.
But I am just gambling with my intentions.
When I read this sutta (https://zugangzureinsicht.org/html/tipitaka/mn/mn.087.than_en.html) I mostly agree with the gamblers.
I have been involved with gamblers recently.
Using all my money and credit overdraft to buy and sell cryptocurrencies online. Joining a group of crypto traders in Telegram, listening to their analysis and strategies about the market, their bragging about their gains, arguing, joking, and tried to understand a bit how it all works.
At first I was successful, being cautious, doing safe bets. And the overall trend of everything went up. So it was easy. In two weeks I made enough money out of nothing that I could have bought another plane ticket if I wanted to, just playing numbers games and watching price graphs go up and down all day and night.
Then one day I made a mistake and lost something. Even though I still had some good profit, I wanted to gain back what I had lost then.
It ended like this:
[an(other) useless youtube video]
That is how I wasted one month and almost all my money.
I can't let go of it. I want to gamble my money back. It is very stupid.

That such can be visited from outside, and empty currently, is seldom. More usually is to find oneself right in there and then voluntary ordination is no more possible, closed up.

I just wanted to curb any possible expectations, because I wouldn't find them helpful. My mistake for assuming it would be understood as such.

What would Nyom have, got, if there havn't been those concerned about his well beings and needs? Right from starting being given birth?
May Nyom take care and think in right ways and reboot fast! Gained merits are not for sure and gambled off quick, even rightly gained.

The heart of the land of wonders:
Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa
Cultivating skillful ways of thought
"And how is one made pure in three ways by mental action? There is the case where a certain person is not covetous. He does not covet the belongings of others, thinking, 'O, that what belongs to others would be mine!' He bears no ill will and is not corrupt in the resolves of his heart. [He thinks,] 'May these beings be free from animosity, free from oppression, free from trouble, and may they look after themselves with ease!' He has right view and is not warped in the way he sees things: 'There is what is given, what is offered, what is sacrificed. There are fruits & results of good & bad actions. There is this world & the next world. There is mother & father. There are spontaneously reborn beings; there are brahmans & contemplatives who, faring rightly & practicing rightly, proclaim this world & the next after having directly known & realized it for themselves.' This is how one is made pure in three ways by mental action."

May Nyom take care and think in right ways and reboot fast!Bhante obviously does not know the ways I think and does not recognize such a thing as humour. Typical Austrian overbearing haughtiness, judgmental without an inkling of understanding, and all concerned with "winning" and being on top. (Of course the holy Austrian sage would deny that, and being as deaf to criticism while always pretending to be open, these are probably wasted words.)
I would not think of ordaining if not seeing a valid goal there.
Most of the time I don't see it. I wanted to be clear about that.
At some rare occasions, such as for example often when speaking to Bhante Khemakumara, I can see a little bit better.
I worry about not fitting in as a monk, not seeing the purpose most of the time. I would have a hard time. That is why I linked that sutta (https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an04/an04.005.than.html).
Quote
Even though it may be with pain, even though it may be with sorrow, even though he may be crying, his face in tears, he lives the holy life that is perfect & pure. This is called the individual who goes against the flow.
If the Buddha says this is still good, then maybe I should believe him.
Why would someone with sorrow and tears attempt to practice the holy life? Because he does not see a less painful alternative, so he "has to".
This is mostly how I would see it.
When I say "Mara is my best friend" that is obviously a joke. And the linked music video is actually about samvega (https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/icedearth/lifeanddeath.html), maybe in a somewhat crude way, but is currently the best motivation I can get. (Oh, so much self-pity... What a "loser".)
I would certainly miss inspiring music as a monk.
It would be painful for me to be a monk. That is for sure. It is already painful just thinking about it. But still, whenever I think most clearly, I think that might be the best. Because otherwise, as the song lyrics say "hate will never leave me".
I would like to think differently.
Upasika Villa "hopes" that I will end up ordaining. But I actually hope that I will not. I just think at the moment that maybe in the end I will, not seeing a better way.
I am in much pain. And the natural reaction to pain is aversion, hatred. Tonight at the Wat, waking up at 2 or 3 and walking around in the neighbourhood, the most peace I could find was sitting in between a large group of angry dogs who would not stop barking at me. It was just pleasent to think that they agree with me.
May Bhante feel free to mock and ridicule. I think it will not bother me much.
Post by: Moritz on March 01, 2021, 06:01:41 PM
I would like to visit Bhante at Thmor Duk on Wednesday (joining Upasika Villa, as she said she might go), if I am still welcome, no matter whether I will be finished with things I had wanted to do before here: the Sangha laptop etc. My main objective there is actually just to call my father, thinking that Thmor Duk would the best environment for that, hoping to achieve a peaceful result. Everything else to do or not to do is less important to me. The relationship to my father is most important for my peace and for my decisions.
Sometimes I think it might be "easy" if my parents were dead, both gone to different directions. They have made four terrible decisions, making four children. And they are suffering from it until they die, especially my father. And of course the children suffer in turn, being born into a hateful relationship.
That is actually mostly what I want to escape from, and see no other way than to be far away. Me being far away is the best for everyone over there, I believe (but am not always sure). That is a reason for me to think about becoming a monk and thinking it would be good. But it is not easy to cut those ties without violence. I think the environment at Thmor Duk would be most helpful and conducive, as it has been in the past.
It all does not work so easy and straightforward here.
May Bhante forgive my anger, of which I still harbour a lot and have an endless reservoir. But in my defence I want to say: Wer austeilt, muss auch einstecken können.

Quote from: Upasaka Motitz
...Me being far away is the best for everyone over there, I believe (but am not always sure). That is a reason for me to think about becoming a monk and thinking it would be good...
That's exactly the right attitude, seeing the dangers of the mines in ones heart and that only oneself, by withdrawing first till no more danger for others and oneself, can fix the problem.
Being still in relation with Mara as friend, next to all other ugly thing, one is still and always capable to kill even father, mother, an Arahat, splitt the Sangha and cause a Buddha harm. Like a landmine in the forest. Ever walked through mine fields?
Thmos (stones) and forests, where ever, are not really a refuge, but the Gems are and sometimes they can be found there. If such is the refuge Nyom seeks for, he should be always sure being always welcome here. If just searching for a hide in certain secure, to prepare for the next hurtful hunt and battle in the world, there are many forest and moutains out there, as well as monasteries.
May Nyom don't waste time with the worldly things, and head fast for demining, pulling the arrow out of the heart first, less would ever act with wise compassion. Obligation would only die off in ones heart, once healed, and other parting is only temporary. So it's good to take on it, now, in such blessed circumstances less have. Once appart outwardly, next time hard to ever remember.
Mudita.
Post by: Dhammañāṇa on March 01, 2021, 09:11:07 PM
As for the stay, short, long, longer, till the end, who knows, this should be quite enough outwardly to get the arrow removed and then, all ways open and no more wrong choose as well.
Post by: Moritz on March 02, 2021, 12:45:28 PM
Putting on a robe would not remove an arrow.
Bhante likes to push things that are not ready.
I would like to come as a layman, stay as a layman maybe for some days.
I hope that will not be too burdensome for Bhante.
Post by: Dhammañāṇa on March 02, 2021, 04:44:45 PM
It's the way of those really no more wishing to be a burden for others, independend, having left trades.
Post by: Moritz on March 02, 2021, 07:01:26 PM
Even though it may not be required for pabbaja, this was very important to me, and why I had thought it would be best to stay at Thmor Duk for this to have best chances at success. But I am glad and very relieved that it "worked" just like this.
So now I am ready, on principle.
I just still have to sort out and clean up my stuff, get a haircut, and best care first about visa extension before. Money might be still just enough for that before empty.

If people would miss perceive bonds with release and prisons with open, they would by in what is sold as free. At least some taste of the other world here and beyond and of what wild serves for emptiness dwelling has been gained, along with a punch of merits. Desicions and determinations can always be adjsted and changed. In regard of outer condidions less places provide with possibility what is called Kam(ma)-puja, gained by own effort.Nyom Moritz respectfully just called fron the airport, asking for leave for the case he might take the fly, yet all open in the "Game (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XldpuLSu1a8)" 1, 2 oder 3....plopp, dann ist es vorbei.
